Speech Pathology

Our speech therapy services help both children and adults to develop effective communication skills.

That doesn’t necessarily mean ‘typical’ communication skills.

There are many different ways to get your message across and engage with others – and we encourage them to learn new ways of listening to you too.

Speech Pathology at Look Who's Talking?

Speech pathologists (or ‘speechies’) are highly qualified allied health professionals. At Look Who’s Talking, we support children and adults with a wide range of speech, communication, language or swallowing needs.

Comprehensive assessment

Communication means connection

Ultimately, communication is about connection.

Therapy may start in the clinic but it continues throughout the week as you and your family practice together.

And wouldn’t it be great if more people met you halfway? If our society became more comfortable with different ways of communicating? If more people learned sign language or became comfortable with augmentative and alternative communication methods?

That would be a much fairer and friendlier world, wouldn’t it?

Our Methods

We use a number of evidence-based therapy tools to help you communicate more easily.
